The Aussie boss said: “I take full responsibility, I didn’t prepare the team well and we will respond in the future. Everything was wrong with preparation because we played like that.

“That was like a World Cup final and we weren’t good enough. It’s better to have that experience today rather than in November 2019.

“I’m not sure what I did wrong, If I knew I would fix it. I’m like everyone else and make mistakes. This was a tough tournament and teams were at us because we were the favourites. I found it much tougher than last year.

“It was a tight old game, one or two things go your way and the game flips, they didn’t go our way today we didn’t work hard enough to get those opportunities and that’s what happens.

“I thought we could always still win the game up to the 79th minute when Mike Brown knocked it on. We knew it was going to be a tough physical game, we just weren’t good enough today.

England have already won the Six Nations having beaten Scotland before Ireland clash

“The team has done an incredible job. We set out to win this tournament and we have won it, but obviously we are bitterly disappointed not to win every game.

“It goes to show we still have work to do – Ireland put us under big pressure and you can’t make error, upon error, upon error. I know with Andy Farrell at the helm they have one hell of a defence – so credit to them.

“This keeps us grounded, we are not where we want to be yet. But we have summer tours to look forward to and big games in the future.

“I am immensely proud of the team. We set out to win the tournament back to back and it’s not perfect – we didn’t slam it. But hey ho, we are the champions and will take that.”
